Progress contrasts with folklore. Diverse landscapes reflect social inequalities and contested resources. Industrial growth offers opportunity but also exploitation, straining a prejudiced society. Life is harsh; the beautiful land demands resilience, often tested by societal biases and ingrained beliefs.

A dramatic scar across the rolling plains with sheer reddish-brown rock walls, a shallow muddy creek along the floor, twisting paths, blind corners, high ledges, and a natural rock bridge spanning the gorge. Makeshift outlaw camps with bedrolls and campfires dot the claustrophobic, menacing interior.
